blaster_1981 Posted August 3, 2004 Posted August 3, 2004 I hope I didn't post my last message in the wrong category. I'll post it in here instead. I was just wondering if someone could tell me the status of the URL Update of www.ukteenchatrooms.co.uk I'm not sure how long updates take and if they are given more priority that New Submittions. The change is that the URL is updated to http://www.ukchatterbox.co.uk (There is already a 301 Redirect on old URL, pointing to the new one.) I would ideally like the listing to be moved to Computers > Internet > chat http://dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/Chat/ but I can see that the site takes no submittions to that directory (I have found however that 1 site is no longer working and the other has a duplicate entry), I don't know if that means there is space for my URL in the category mensioned. The http://www.ukteenchatrooms.co.uk is currently in > http://dmoz.org/Kids_and_Teens/Computers/Chats_and_Forums/Teens/ If someone could tell me the status of the change that would be great. PS. The url that does not work is http://pukka.hyperchat.com/homepage.html and the URL which is listed twice is justchat.co.uk Thanks Bobby Amlani
donwiebe Posted August 3, 2004 Posted August 3, 2004 Your update request has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it appears that, in reviewing your update request, an editor decided that the site now contained materiel that did not make it suitable for a listing in the Kids and Teens Directory, and so the site was removed from the category completely.
blaster_1981 Posted August 3, 2004 Author Posted August 3, 2004 Update. Is there any way i can get it listed in the directory I wanted it to be in. Computers > Internet > Chat ?
blaster_1981 Posted August 4, 2004 Author Posted August 4, 2004 Any ideas on how I should procede with this? I guess i have been set back a little if the site gets dropped, should I submit ukchatterbox.co.uk as a new URL? I'm a little confused on what to do.
Editall Callimachus Posted August 4, 2004 Editall Posted August 4, 2004 While the content may preclude listing in Kids and Teens, you are welcome to re-submit it to one of the chat/forum categories in the Main directory where the requirements are somewhat differrent.

blaster_1981 Posted August 4, 2004 Author Posted August 4, 2004 ahh ok thanks very much, i presume there is no priority over people who want old websites moved as opposed to new submissions, and what about categorys that take no new submissions? I presume its difficult to get my site moved into those categories. Bobby
Editall Callimachus Posted August 5, 2004 Editall Posted August 5, 2004 No more so than any other submission. It will be placed in the queue of the category you choose for an editor to review.

blaster_1981 Posted August 6, 2004 Author Posted August 6, 2004 Cheers thanks very much, I've placed ukchatterbox.co.uk as a new submission.
